BANGKOK — Canadian Dante Leon won his One Championship submission grappling debut in style Friday, making short work of Brazilian Bruno Pucci on the undercard of"One Fight Night 26: Lee vs. Rasulov."
"I end up having a nice chain of submissions," said the 29-year-old from Harrow, Ont., who is now based in Toledo, Ohio."I had a shoulder lock at the first part, switched to a triangle and then switch to an armbar, So I kind of showed a lot there." Montreal's Jonathan Di Bella won a unanimous decision over Portugal's Rui Botelho in a strawweight kickboxing bout.
Di Bella won a unanimous decision over China's Peimian to claim the vacant One title in October 2022 in his debut in the promotion at One 162 in Kuala Lumpur. But he had to vacate the crown after falling ill the day of the weigh-in before his scheduled second title defence in April 2024. Mahmoudi looked to use that size and reach, fighting from distance and controlling the bout, with Puric darting in to land blows. The Canadian got his attention with several blows and buckled Mahmoudi as the first round ended.
